Availability:

It seems like only yesterday when engines adorned with blazing, red
center, circular heralds blasted out of Panther Creek Valley, crossed
eastern Pennsylvania, the Lehigh River, and Delaware River to New Jersey
hauling endless hopper car loads of black diamonds destined for
Maybrook, NY, the railroad gateway to New England. The Coalfield, Slate
Belt, and Cement Region are all photographically represented, as well as
right-of-ways, stations, terminals, and branch lines along the
L&NE’s entire east-west main line. Only Yesterday on the Lehigh
& New England Railroad – A Photographic Remembrance is the most
voluminous, most comprehensive, most meticulously researched
photographic presentation revealing the L&NE ever offered. All
aspects of the company are reviewed and illustrated, including corporate
history, relationship to the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company,
development of the physical plant and rights-of-way, locomotives,
passenger cars, revenue freight cars, and non revenue cars with emphasis
on the 1947-1950 steam-diesel transition years…this is a no nonsense
presentation that not only tells you, but also shows you!
